STORY SUBMITTED
Horizon Education Centers opened a new preschool program with a partnership with Constellation Schools at Lorain Community Elementary. The official ribbon cutting ceremony was held Wednesday, Jan. 9, at 1110 W. 4th St., Lorain. The preschool will open their doors Monday, Jan. 14th under the direction of Heather LaMore, Center Director.
This preschool program opened as a three star high quality under Ohio’s Step Up to Quality Rating System. This rating ensures that all children attending will experience: qualified teacher, proven curriculum, family engagement and developmental screenings. Horizon’s main goal for their preschool program is to provide 20 slots for children enrolling, and provide them with a high quality kindergarten readiness program. Also, Horizon understands that your choice of care and education is very personal and an important decision. Horizon takes safety and security as our #1 priority. When you leave your child at one of our centers you will have peace of mind that your child is safely learning, having fun, and making new friends. Horizon Education Centers has had a six-year partnership with Constellation Schools through the 21st Century Learning Grant from the State of Ohio in which Horizon operates an after-school program at Lorain Community School already. Studies have shown that children who attend after-school programing benefit from: increased academic efforts, fewer emotional and behavioral problems, increased physical activity, and help create healthy learning habits.
Horizon Education Centers is a leader in quality early care and education, preparing children and families for life for 40 years. Horizon is a mission-driven nonprofit making sure all families have access to high quality programs regardless of income or where they live.
